“Did you have fun?” she asked me.


“Yeah, but it was long,” I replied.


“Long? But it lasted an hour and a half,” she said feigning offence.


“I know. But it wore me out,” I answered.


And with that, my old friend and I went our separate ways

Time To Change The Course Of U.S. History


It is time for the American people to take back their nation from irresponsible and lackluster special interest-motivated elected officials. Impeaching top members of the Bush administration may be in order.


The majority of Americans should be unhappy with our nation

Two 501c3 Non-Profit Organizations Need Help



To The Editor:


The Hedley Senior Citizens in Hedley, Texas and the Hall County Home Delivered Meals in Memphis, Texas are two very small and rural organizations in the Texas Panhandle, both needing financial donations.


With your one donation you will be helping two organizations.


We share a Board of Directors, but we are two separate entities. Hedley has a population of 390 people and our Senior Citizens serves 55 people daily including 20 home bound. We are working out a 103 year old building that is NOT handicapped accessible with bad A/C & heater. Memphis has a population of about 2300 and the Meals on Wheels program serves 68 home bound people a day. With the costs of food, fuel, and utilities increasing, our funding just does not go a long way and most of our elderly can

When the Supremes upheld the right of the uncharged masses currently incarcerated in Gitmo, both Fearless Leader and Mac went on the attack, reiterating the fearmongers

Thank Your Mayor Today


Thank Your Mayor Today


The United States has some pretty awesome mayors.


The 1,100 mayors in the U.S. Conference of Mayors should be especially commended.


And we mean all of them.


Meeting in Miami, Fla. last Monday, the USCM assembly adopted a resolution supporting the extension of Medicare health care coverage to all Americans.


It passed not by just a few votes; it passed unanimously!


Why?


Because mayors understand the true costs of health care better than most elected officials, according to Dr. David Prensky, a retired dentist from Palm Beach, Fla.


“[Mayors] are closer to the grassroots, where their communities and constituents are suffering. Meanwhile, their city budgets are being shattered by health costs for their own employees,” said Prensky.


Specifically, the mayors support the “United States National Health Insurance Act” (H.R. 676), also known as the “Improved and Expanded Medicare for All Act,” sponsored by Rep. John Conyers of Michigan and 90 other members of Congress.

One of our competitors has closed its doors. Not surprising news during this economic downturn, certainly, but definitely sad news and a sign of the times. What bothers us at American Joe most is that the company sold American-made apparel, as do we. So the influx of foreign-made goods has once again struck at the heart of our great nation and the American worker.
